CMS Lion Dance

The CMS Lion Dance team has been performing Chinese Lion Dancing in Melbourne since the 1940s, making it the oldest and longest-running lion dance team in Melbourne. Read more about the CMS Lion Dance history here

People of all walks of life, from young & old, genders and different nationalities all volunteer their time to practice and perform the traditional lion dance.

The CMS Lion Dance follows a traditional Fut San (佛山) lion dance, with a foundation and heritage of Jow Gar(周家) kung-fu.

The CMS Lion and Dragon Dance Team will be performing lion dance or dragon dance or both and/or kungfu on every night of the Asia Street Food Festival. Check out our Performing Arts Program Schedule which will be published soon.
